The small lug with the hole was for a retaining chain attached to the filler cap but these were not used for military issue cans.

first of all thanks for your kind reply .. in fact I also found the brass cap and I have already joined them to make a single piece. the round disk with the number 5 imprinted is actually made of thin ferrous metal, so I don't think it is the internal gasket of the tank cap itself ... I always apologize for my English derived from google translate
